Loftness Introduces Hydraulic Cooler for New Kubota Track Loader Model
Loftness Specialized Equipment introduces the first auxiliary hydraulic cooler to be specialized for the new Kubota SVL97-3 compact track loader. Offering a cooling performance of up to 150,000 BTUs per hour, the Cool Flow is available with a custom roof mount specifically developed for the SVL97-3 to help increase machine performance and minimize heat-related downtime.
The Cool Flow features two 14-inch-diameter fans, which are automatically controlled by a thermostat. It is engineered to allow full hydraulic flow to attachments from either direction, providing flexibility to use with multiple attachment styles.
A heavy-duty steel frame gives the Cool Flow durability, while its low-profile design minimizes the risk of contact from overhead obstructions. It includes easy-access screens for simplified maintenance and debris removal.
“Dealers are finally starting to receive the highly anticipated SVL97-3, and we’re prepared with the industry’s first auxiliary hydraulic cooler to be compatible with it,” said Shannon McComas, vice president, sales & marketing of Loftness Specialized Equipment. “The Cool Flow is an excellent accessory to protect your track loader investment against heat-related damage and help maximize performance in the toughest operating conditions.”
